Private Jewish Tour

This was a very good tour. We learned quite a bit about the Jewish History. I wish we had time (on our own) to go back and walk thru the Jewish section, but maybe the next time we are in Buenos Aires. I would recommend the tour.

We had a terrific tour of...

We had a terrific tour of Jewish BA - the Once neighborhood with its kosher restaurants, yeshivahs, and shuls, the Jewish community center, the Libertad Synagogue. Doing a tour was better than trying to do it by ourselves. Matias was a great guide!
